I have Linux support (COMPAT_LINUX, LINUX_COMPAT) in my kernel, and
mod_load'ing linux_mod.o works, but I also need Linux shared libraries. So I
installed linux_lib-2.0, result - X won't start. It can't find its shared
libraries, although they are in a standard directory (/usr/X11R6/lib). The
error is 'ld.so: xinit: shared library (something) not found'.
Also, in the boot sequence this appeared - 'ldconfig: 1: Syntax error: "("
unexpected". I think this is because the lkm has to be loaded from the
shell, so at boot time ldconfig (which is a Linux executable, giving 'Wrong
Architecture' error if run from the shell) doesn't run, so the path to the
shared libraries is not set up.
To make ldconfig run, I need to put the lkm permanently into the kernel. How
can I do this? (option LINUX doesn't work.)
